No direct experience, but I have been looking at TIG machines for a while. What
it doesn't say is AC. AC is required to weld aluminum and HF is nice to help
maintain the arc.
Similar machines are on Ebay.
I opted for a used Miller and have never regretted it. It's nice when the local
dealer has the items you need on the shelf.
